UPHOLSTERY-SPRING MOUNTING.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Jan. 22, rats.

Application filed December 13, 1916. Serial No. 136,848.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, MATHIAS STADTLER,

a citizen of the United States, and a resident of San Jose, county ofSanta Clara,

State of California, have inventeda new and replaced without disturbingthe other springs or the upholstery.

The invention possesses other features of advantage, some of which, withthe foregoing, will be set forth in the following description of thepreferred form of my invention which is illustrated in the drawingsaccompanying and forming part of the specification. It is to beunderstood that I do not limit myself to the showing made by the saiddrawingsand description, as I may adopt variations of the preferred formwith in the scope of my invention as set forth in the claim.

Referring to the drawings:

Figure 1 is a perspective view of the mounting.

Fig. 2 is a plan view of the mounting. The direction of the view -isfrom below upward to the under side of the canvas top resting upon theupper end of the spring. The lower portion of the spring is omitted.

The mounting of my invention comprises a pocket 5 preferably formed of aleather strip folded lengthwise and stitched to the fabric top 6 in theform of a curve corresponding approximately in form to the curve'of theupper turn ofthe upholstery spring 7. In hard-edge upholstery thepocket-5 may be stitched directly upon the fabric 6, but in spring-edgeupholstery I prefer to reinforce the fabric by crossed tapes 8 in thefollowing manner. I lay out a piece of fabric of the required size andarrange the tapes 8 thereon, spacing them according to the desiredspacing of the springs; At each tape'intersection I secure a pocket 5 asbest shown in Fig. 2, stitching through the folded edges of the pocket,the tapes and the fabric, so that all are tightly fastened together.After preparing the canvas top in this manner, it is inverted over theframe to be upholstered and the springs turned into the pockets one at atime, the lower turn of each coil being sprung into suitably placedhooks 9 which are set in the bottom slats 12 of the frame. When all thesprings are in place the edges of the fabric and the ends of the tapesare secured to the frame in the usual manner, and the moss and hairapplied.

From the above it will be clear that any one of the springs may beremoved without disturbing the others or the upholstery, in case itshould be broken or require replacin for any other reason. This isaccomphshed by springing the lower turn of the coil away from the hooks9 and turning the spring to disengage the upper portion from the pocketlying on the under side of the canvas top. A new spring is then insertedas first explained.

I claim:

An upholstery spring mounting, consisting of a fabric top, crossed tapesarranged upon said top, and a flexible curved pocket adapted to receivethe end of the spring and arranged at the intersection of said tapes andsecured to said tapes and said fabric top.

In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand at an Jose,California, this 7th day of December, 1916.

MATT-HAS STADTLER.

In presence of- W. ALLEN Horn.
